SMPlayer isn't too bad. That's what I used on my friend's computer when MPC stopped working.

Re: So, about good media players...
I've uninstalled and reinstalled MPC several times, different versions and all, but still get the same result. I've also tried this Fix it program that's supposed to fix WMP and it brings WMP back to working order until I restart my computer - then it goes back to the way it was before. As for codecs, I haven't looked into those yet.[/quote]HalOfBorg wrote:Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling your players/codec pack?
Does that mean you haven't uninstalled/reinstalled, or don't have a current codec pack? Try CCCP from free-codes.com

Re: So, about good media players...
MPC + CCCP is my preferred way to go...that said I've never seen errors like that with it. May need to uninstall and reinstall everything related to it...

KMPlayer used to play stuff other players wouldn't play (or the playback suffered in someway) back when I was using a toaster, though I'm not sure how good it is today.
Could also try updating/reinstalling video/audio drivers, if all else fails.

Nothing works quite as well as a clean install of your OS...

FS has it right. I was having all kinds of codec and issues with mpchc (32 bit) until I clean installed my system. Now no issues at all. There could be some errant registry key somewhere causing these issues. Also, when you say MPC is it actually MPC or MPCHC? And as well, have you installed the latest version of cccp and mpchc with it? And again on top of that have you tried x64 ver of mpchc? When I had issues with the standard 32 bit ver I was able to play video fine with the x64 ver.

Re: So, about good media players...
Tried doing what you suggested and still no change. I almost wouln't mind doing an OS restore but not only did the computer not come with the windows disk, but there isn't even a partition for it. Guess I'm kind of up a creek there huh.HalOfBorg wrote:Does that mean you haven't uninstalled/reinstalled, or don't have a current codec pack? Try CCCP from free-codes.com

@ngsilver - I've been using MPC, I tried MPCHC after the former stopped working but there was no difference. I uninstalled both of them so I actually don't know which version I had, but I'll definitely look into that.
Really appreciate all the suggestions though, thanks to everyone stopping by. As much as I'm on computers there's quite a lot I don't know about them.

Re: So, about good media players...
I used to use VLC for files that wouldn't play in other players, but then I learned a bit about codecs almost never have problems.
I like MPC simply because the controls work right for me. Dbl click video, full screen. Click or spacebar pauses/resumes. I assume other players do that or can be changed in settings.

Systems purchased from big box retailers haven't come with their Windows OS discs since XP. Doesn't stop you from finding an iso around somewhere... You have a legal license to the software after all.Hagaren Viper wrote:Tried doing what you suggested and still no change.

It's clear you fucked something up on your system. A new media player isn't the answer. Fixing the problem is the answer.
